About our wedding hog roast in Hartfield
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for blessings and renewals and rustic barn receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Hartfield often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Hartfield: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hartfield close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Will guests be full?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels special. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Hartfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
